A source in the camp
of the Super Eagles B team has revealed to SportingLife that the failure of the
head coach of the senior national team, Sunday Oliseh to properly treat the
acute typhoid fever he was diagnosed with was responsible for the deterioration
in his health.

Oliseh breezed in to
Port Harcourt Friday night last week on the eve of the first leg of the African
Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifier against Burkina Faso and oversaw the
initial leg Nigeria won 2-0 at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Port Harcourt
last Saturday.

He was not in the
best shape when he arrived Eagles’ camp and he confirmed that to his assistant
coaches and other officials that were at the Hotel Presidential camp of the
team but he defied his ailment to shout out instructions to his players on
match day and also supervised training sessions till Wednesday morning before
his condition got worse.

The camp source told
SportingLife that patriotism and his eagerness to ensure that he succeeds as
Eagles’ boss made Oliseh to go contrary to his personal physician instruction
that he takes a bed rest for at least a month before embarking on any difficult
task.

He was told that
aside the typhoid fever he is also suffering from exertion or stress brought
about by his lack of adequate rest for quite some time now.

Sunday Oliseh has reportedly been diagnosed with acute typhoid fever

A source in Port
Harcourt told SportingLife that had Oliseh stayed out of the training sessions
of the team after the first leg maybe his health would not have deteriorated
while adding that the energy sapping Wednesday training session must have taken
its toll on the coach.

SportingLife was told
that Oliseh personally drilled the team and also oversaw other training session
rudiments for over a hour on Wednesday morning and that the practice session
may have aided the present condition of his health.

Oliseh arrived
Belgium in the early hours of Friday and has gone to meet his personal
physician for treatment after he left Nigeria on Thursday evening.

SportingLife learnt
that Oliseh won’t be available for the second leg tie in Ouagadougou as
Assistant Coach Salisu Yusuf has stepped in to take head coach duties.
